Mary Boleyn is remembered by posterity as a 'great and infamous whore'. She was the mistress of two kings, Francois I of France and Henry VIII of England, and sister to Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII's second wife. She may secretly have borne Henry a child and it was because of his adultery with Mary that his marriage to Anne was annulled.
This tangled web of relationships has given rise to rumours and misconceptions that have been embroidered over the centuries. Alison Weir explodes much of this mythology and uncovers the facts about one of the most misunderstood figures of the Tudor age.
